"saw a lot of reviews on this product ans wanted to try it out for myself. i bought this a few days ago and ive been using ovee my noisturizee and undee my foundation and its such a great primer. i tried the other primers from e.l.f and i definetly recommend this if you hace dry skin, it is suuuuuper moisturizing and gives you a preery flawless finish 😍 also i never seen any dry spots on my skin while using this. i also noticed that if you have oily skin it doesn't stay oily in the parts that you are usually ,depending on the foundation and setting spray you use." in 789 reviews

Some of these are a one and some of them are a four, I mean with these it’s a hit or miss depending on the specific primer. The hydrating one is alright and the time adjusting one is green and that’s ok the rest however I am not a fan of and they don’t carry a lot of product the packaging is a big scam. There’s actually three compartments which make the product seem bigger but really it’s held in the tiniest compartment. They made bigger bottles however they’re pricier and probably don’t hold much either.

This claims to be hydrating but it is not. It has a silicone base and it just makes your make up slip around I would not recommend this to anyone and less you have oily skin. Not worth it when you can get a better primer from a different drug store company that works better than the stars this claims to be hydrating but it is not. It has a silicone base and it just makes your make up slip around I would not recommend this to anyone unless you have oily skin. Not worth it when you can get a better primer from a different drug store company that works better than this does.

So I ran out of my Smashbox primer and haven’t had the time to go buy one so I quickly bought this ELF Hydrating Primer because I’m a dry skin girlie and had high hopes since ELF products are affordable and nice quality for drugstore brands. Sad to say I was surely disappointed. This primer was very oily and didn’t make my foundation stay on and in a way it was like gel-ish. I tried to use it multiple times but every time my eyebrow pomade would just not go on bc the primer was too oily so I definitely do not recommend for them oily skin girlies going for a dewy finish. It wasn’t hydrating at all just made me feel oily and that’s coming from a dry skin person so I don’t recommend this product.

Dry skin friends rejoice! This is the primer for you! I can see how if you are oily this is probably not the primer for you as it can leave you looking very slick. In the summer I tend you use much much less of this product because it can start to cause issues. I wouldn't say this primer extends the wear time of my makeup but it does bring life into my face that can sometimes be sucked out by my makeup. The hydrating primer (from what i am aware of) does not claim to be a pore filling primer but when i press it into my skin, ohhhhh baby it makes me look poreless and smooth! I knocked a star off because of the poor packaging issues. The packaging is very bulky compared to the small amount of product you get. It has a pump which is nice, but the container that the product is actually in sits within another large shell of plastic. The packaging when empty still has a lot of weight to it which is some false advertising when you first open it. It looks and feels as though you get a lot of product but the packaging accounts for 3/4th of the overall weight.

A decent low-end primer. I have oily/acne-prone skin and this didn't cause any additional breakouts underneath a BB cream, which was good. However, the packaging is absolutely terrible--the actual amount of product that you receive in any e.l.f. bottle is always a small fraction of the bottle size--which docks at least one star alone. The primer also has a funky plastic smell which was covered up by my other makeup, but it did make me dubious of the quality of the product. The primer has a tacky finish that, combined with my oily skin, made my skin unfortunately shiny within a few hours of putting on a full face. If you have drier skin, this primer would probably be a better fit for you than for me.

I heard great things about this brand and their products. I was in search of a primer so I decided to give this primer a try. I did not like this product at all. I have normal/dry skin so I was searching for something hydrating. This primer simply sits on top of my face and doesn’t mix well with foundation. I changed my foundation numerous times before a friend pointed out that the primer may be the issue. After an hour of wearing the primer under my foundation, my face looked extremely greasy and grainy. A terrible look. I will not repurchase this product nor would I recommend it, regardless of the price.

I keep hearing about legendary cheap elf products and each one of them I’ve bought so far brought me nothing but disappointment.It’s a cheap tiny primer with oily texture and fancy motor oil smell. It doesn’t absorb well in the skin so none of my foundation blended well on top of it. You have to wait at least 15 minutes to semi-dry it. Well, I have oily skin, so party I blame it. Instead of the hydration this primer feels like it clogs your pores.Honestly if I’d to buy another drug-store product, I’d rather add a little more and get any of the maybelline primers instead. So disappointing...

It’s an ok primer, but the thing that makes me mad about this product is the amount of actual product in this container. Sure it was only $6, and it appears to be a descent amount, but if you actually deconstruct the bottle and take it apart, you would be surprised to learn that only about 1/8 of this bottle contains actual product. Yup. The majority of this jar is hollow. Go ahead, take apart this pump bottle and see for yourself. I ran out of this product within two months and I was only using it 2-3 times a week. Elf’s biggest scam. I’ll never buy this product again.

Okay i love how smooth it makes my skin feel, it really plumps it up and hydrates it well. But i don’t feel it does a good job at making your makeup last longer which most primers do- however it is labeled as a hydrating primer so idk if makeup longevity was its purpose😂But one thing I’m super pissed about it how fast i ran through this product. Whenever i apply it to my face i only would use one pump. But i ran out so fast, like 2 weeks- why? Take the packaging apart and youd be pissed at how bad e.l.f played you. I love e.l.f don’t get me wrong but really man?😭

This primer is super cheap but they kind of fool you with the packaging because you think you’re getting this full bottle of primer when in reality if you take it apart there’s another little compartment INSIDE that is half of the size of the actual bottle and that’s how much product you’re getting. The product itself isn’t phenomenal and I didn’t really see much of a difference. It feels very siliconey and I didn’t really like it. There’s plenty of drugstore primers you can purchase that won’t fool you with product amount and work much better.

All of their primers come with a lot less product than you're actually expecting because the colored part of the packaging is actually hollow and doesn't have product in it at all. If you take the whole thing apart you'll see there's a very small section for the actual primer in the packaging. Although it's a relatively cheap and decent product, it's definitely not worth it for the very little product you're getting.
